The Environment Agency has released it's third adaptation report to government, a requirement under the Climate Change Act 2008

This is a report on how the impacts of climate change affect the work that is under the remit of the Environment Agency.

  • The Environment Agency alone cannot protect everyone from increasing flood and coastal risks
  • Climate change makes it harder to ensure clean and plentiful water

  • Ecosystems cannot adapt as fast as the climate is changing
  • There will be more and worse environmental incidents
This is based on these climate projections:
